Bad choices ... unfortunate events ... tough situations ... Could these be the very things that will strengthen your teen and teach them to look to God? Listen as Mark Gregston and Wayne Shepherd address the topic of helping your teen through the things that don't go their way — rather than rescuing them from it all. They discuss when and HOW to step in to help your teen. Learning to walk with our teens, rather than shield them from tough times, will more effectively teach them how to solve and work through obstacles.
